Marine Vet here, shout out to Jimmy thank you for this knowledge, Co-Bought a house 2 years ago with my brother(not a vet) where a VA loan was not used do I have it right that we can refinance with one? If so, would that actually kill the PMI we are currently paying?
Hey Jesse - thanks for the shout. Semper Fi sir. Yes, you could absolutely do that: Eliminate the PMI by refinancing into a VA Loan. Is your brother planning on staying on the loan with you? If so, there may be some additional requirements. Happy to discuss in greater detail if you'd like. jimmy@valoansforvets.com or visit our site at www.VALoansForVets.com
Great content Jimmy 🤌🏽
Navy vet living in the sunshine state.
Question: Assuming it differs from state to state but with 100% disability rating what are some direct impacts with using the VA loan?
Hi Gabriel, great to hear from you! You are entitled to have your VA Funding Fee Waived which will save you big when purchasing a home. Regarding taxes, in many cases in FL a Veteran with 100% VAD / P&T will be entitled to have some, possibly ALL of their property taxes waived. Let me know if I can personally assist you jimmy@valoansforvets.com
This is Jimmy from the Army, HUA
Ohrah Jimmy!
Semper Fi from Indianapolis!!
YUT!!!
Good video
Thank you Dawn!
Hey Jimmy thank you for all the good information. I’m active duty and planning on staying a little longer. I know for sure that I will have my disability when I get out of the military. My goal is to buy a house before I do and I was wondering if I would get refunded for the VAFF once my disability gets approved when I get out?
My pleasure...If your claim is filed before you get under contract on a new home you may be entitled to a refund of the VA Funding Fee. I would be sure to confirm this info with VA. You can call them directly at 800-827-1000 . Hope that helps!
Great
Let's go!
Hi Jimmy, on the question about two Va loans, you mention houses A and B. Quick question, is it there a minimum distance or travel times between these houses or as long as you live on House A for 12 months, you could buy house B on the same neighborhood?
So long as house b makes sense. Bigger sq footage, location, upgrade, etc.
Bad ass!
Let's go!!!
Hi Jimmy, I think you are doing an amazing job. Thank you! For the spouse of a Veteren, what are the conditions to qualify? Can you give me more details on this?
I appreciate it
thank you so much! I have videos on qualification from credit scores and the necessary items needed that you're welcome to check out. Generally you'll want to have a min credit score of 620 to qualify coupled with a debt to income ratio in the 40's (this can go higher). Please let me know if you have any specific questions with an email to jimmy@valoansforvets.com
Hi jimmy just came across your 💎 of channel and had a question. My husband is a vet and does receive disability as well and we recently refinanced our home of 11 years this summer, however we have been wanting to move to a location with more acreage, could we pull the equity out of our current house and use it towards a down payment or for renovation fees for the new property and turn around and rent out the first property? Trying to figure out what our best options are not just for now but for our future. Thanks in advance
Hi Mari, yes, you could certainly do that! I appreciate your kind words!
Both my wife and I are Army Vets. I've just been diagnosed Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, PTSD and waiting on my claim which should give unemployable. My wife is a manager at Walmart making around $50K. Do you have any content explaining the best way for us to apply?
Hi Jimmy! You can apply at www.VALoansForVets.com/apply
Jimmy this is Charles just wondering how I can find out about a VA loan eligibility and The amount I entitled to thank you so much for this video
Happy to chat sir. Please email me jimmy@valoansforvets.com
💯🙏🏽😇❤️

Hello,
I just want to start off by saying thank you for all this information.
I want to let you know I have a property currently that is being rented. I used the FHA loan. So my biggest question is if there is proof that the mortgage is being payed off by the tenant can I still use the VA loan?
It’s my pleasure Juan! 💯💪 yes sir you certainly could. A simple lease agreement between you and the renters would suffice.
@@JimmyVercellino perfect thank you
Jimmy, former USMC Sgt OohRah... How does the VA funding fee reimbursement work? I had my VA disability case take 7 years to resolve and I paid a funding fee twice!!! Please let me know what to do
Semper Fi ! I would call this number: 800-827-1000 (VA Benefits number) let them know when you filed your claim, and make sure you have a copy of the final closing disclosure for both properties purchased. That should get you going in the right direction with the reimbursement.
I have a Credit score of over 700 I have a home through the VA and I would like to use my VA loan again for a house in a better area. Do I just apply for the loan again like I did before?
That’s correct sir. You would apply for the VA Loan with a mortgage lender. If you would like me to be a resource for your upcoming mortgage you can go to www.VALoansForVets.com/apply
When should I contact a lender to see how much I can afford? Before choosing a property?
Great question. My suggestion would be you do that up front before you shop for houses. This will be a mandatory requirement from your agent. You are welcome to apply with me at www.VALoansForVets.com/apply
Good evening,
Can you utilize the VA Loan to build your own home? If so, could you explain the process for that?
Actually I can. I have a video on my channel all about VA C2P check it out. It’s titled “VA C2P yes it’s a thing.”
@@JimmyVercellino
Thank you! I looked for it but I didn’t see it.

Hey Jimmy, active duty army here. I’m currently stationed in Korea for an unaccompanied tour (1 year), and was wondering if it is possible to start the process while I am out here (PCS, TDY, or even deployed) so when I arrive back to the states it can be ready for move in.
Also, is it possible to use the VA loan for a new home build? Would it also be able to work in conjunction with my first question? Thank you for your time and service.
Great question Alex. The answer is yes. However there are a few things that you will want to keep in mind. The home you are buying needs to be located in the vicinity of your duty station and you must occupy when you come home from deployment. Last with respect to buying the home from a new home build 100% that can be done. My email address is jimmy@valoansforvets.com feel free to reach out if we can help you navigate.
I’m considering enlisting active duty Air Force and currently have a fico of 750 + with comparable credit and a diverse credit portfolio with no derogatory credit. I wanted to take advantage of the zero down payment perk I would get using a VA Loan, would you know if I would become eligible after completing my BMT and tech school? I know there’s a minimum requirement of 90 active duty, would those two trainings fall under active duty? In your experience, have you had individuals qualify for a VA shortly after coming out of tech school? Thank you for the informative videos.
Hi Jaime - it’s my pleasure. VA requires you are on active duty for min 90 days before you can purchase a home. This does include boot camp. So in essence you could purchase after 90 days of being on active duty after basic. My experience is service members he don’t purchase until at least 1 year after being in the military once they get settled into their unit.
@@JimmyVercellino I appreciate the timely response and valuable information thanks for the help and your time.
I've been in the national guard since July 7, 2020. I have completed bootcamp ( 10 weeks) and begin OCS in February 2022. Am I eligible to use the VA home loan at this point?
Hi Dion - have you done any active duty service other than basic training?
Can you buy-down the rate on a VA Loan and if so how much would you need to pay to buy down the rate 1 point on a $400K home? Thank You!
Hi really good question. It's really going to depend on the day of lock and what's happening with rate sheets that day. However, a good rule of thumb is for every .25% you buy down you might expect to see a roughly 1% cost. Hope that helps!
Army Vet here, you file bankruptcy and the house is foreclosed. If the house goes to auction and is auctioned off for more than the VA loan amount, due to the value going up, can the mortgage company still collect from the VA?
Hi James - in situations like these it’s best to consultant with a real estate attorney. However I’ll give you my opinion and only that. I believe they can and they will. The fact remains that the loan still went into default and therefore the lender likely received the 25% guarantee from VA. You may however have remaining entitlement that could be applied towards another purchase so you would want confirm what entitlement you have left. Hope that helps.
Do lenders look at your age (late 50's) when buying a home and figure you won't be around to pay it off and reject you?
No sir. A lender may not discriminate based off of the age of the applicant.
I’m a Navy vet and would like to purchase a home in California that is on a 20 acres parcel of agricultural land (established grapes vineyard). The house was parceled out from the land by the owner and we’re interested in buying both, is this possible with a VA loan?
Only if you invite me over for wine.... ;-) VA will only allow us to use it to buy the home on the parcel by itself. You'll need to look at some sort of ag loan for the other parcel perhaps.
So big question my dad has passed he was disabled at death my mom receives VA benefits
For the last 15 years how would she go about buying a home with the benefit and with a VA loan
We would document this with the va. If you can reach out to my office directly we can assist with guiding thru the steps.
Are sellers required to pay any buyer VA closing costs? If so, are these costs plainly stated up front?
Hi John - great question. Contrary to popular belief there are NO mandatory fees the seller must pay on behalf of a Veteran.
@@JimmyVercellino Thanks for your reply!
i've heard that certain disability ratings can waive closing costs. is that true?
Hey Anthony, a VAD rating of 10% will allow you to have your VA Funding Fee waived.
I am currently in the navy and will be PCSing soon to Florida, but would like to purchase a house here in San diego were I am PCSing from. Is that possible or can I only purchase from my current location since I have to live in the residence for 1 year.
If you are not going to live in the property as your primary residence I am going to say that this would NOT be acceptable per VA guidelines. Have you considered purchasing as a 2nd home / conventional loan? Does your family intend on occupying the home? When are you EAS'ing?
Hey Jimmy, is the credit score only based on the veteran or it can be both veteran and spouse? Thanks
Good question - all lenders will use the middle score of the lowest borrower. Hope that helps - let me know if you have any other questions. Jimmy@valoansforvets.com
If you qualify for VA disability after you get your home, can you then get the fee waved?
Only if your claim was filed prior to you closing on the house.
What interest rate can you offer today with a 660-680 credit score, $369,000 loan. I really would like my dream to own a home again after 14 years of divorce
We see VA Loans trading in the 6's at the moment. The rate will depend on several different factors from day of lock, credit score, etc. Let's make it happen! :-)
What are the minimum credit requirements for a VA loan?
Hi Mark!
Min credit score will vary for lenders. Most require a min 620. However, there are lenders who may go lower.
Hello jimmy! Me and my husband is planning to use our VA home loan But I’m curious to know if renting is more cheaper than buying a home with VA loan?
It really depends on where you're looking to purchase. If you shoot me an email at jimmy@valoansforvets.com we can unpack this together.
Hey Jimmy when I do a va loan when can I refinance it to make it a conventional loan?
You most certainly can Hollywood!
Can you pay the VA funding fee up front?
Good question. You sure can.
how can i find out what is my current VA loan amount entitlement?
Easy: All you need to do is go to your ebenefits portal an pull a copy of your COE. Let me know if you have any other questions. To learn more you can visit my website at www.VALoansForVets.com
How does credit score effect loan eligibility?
Credit score does not impact eligibility as VA does not have a min credit score requirement. However the lender does and that can impact a veterans ability to qualify. Generally speaking lenders look for a min credit score of 620 although some may go lower.
Nice Panerai
💪💪💪💯💯💯
If I take out a VA loan and live there for a year, then rent it out would it consider an investment property, or not. Thank you.
It would be considered a primary residence, live in it for 1 year then buy a new primary.
@@JimmyVercellino Thank you for the reply back, so for VA loan is just a year. How come some peoples to you need to live there for 2 years, to not make it a investment property.
Do you do va rehab loans there?
Thanks for the question Sherry. We don't currently offer VA Rehab loans.
Bankruptcy in the past?
Hi Cheryl, VA only requires a 2 year waiting period. It's important that you meet the lenders min credit score requirement and also establish a clean payment history after the BK.
Are you licensed in Tx
Yes indeed! 💯💪
So if I buy a house with my wife I need to put down 12.5 percent?
No sir. If you're a Veteran purchasing a home with your spouse no down payment required assuming you have full entitlement. Let me know if I can answer any other questions jimmy@valoansforvets.com
